Egyptian food taste very good in my opinion. People eat Egyptian food rarely but when they do eat it they don’t really know it’s from Egypt. On the next slide is an Egyptian recipe that is very well known across Egypt. Egyptian people are very creative with their food and they will not hesitate to try new things. The hummus recipe on the next page is a sauce. The Egyptian people eat the same as what we do only they do more experiments and less fast food. They eat their meals at the same times as us.
